My husband and I had a pool in Massachusetts. It was fun when the kids visited, and we did get a good amount of use out of it. However, it was a LOT of work.

When we moved to Provincetown, we had just as much enjoyment from an outdoor shower (with hot and cold water). Private, of course.

I vacuum mine once every few weeks, and add a little muriatic acid every week to keep the pH in check. Other than that (it's a salt water pool) the maintenance is minimal.
